It's been years since I've been back and wanted a burrito so I decided to come here again to see if it still live up to what I remembered like before. I ordered two super burritos and noticed the price is different on the register compared to the menu by the register. I also noticed the cashier added an extra $4 (for two super burritos) for cheese, guacamole, sour cream in addition to the cost of the super burritos. It was almost $30 for 2 super burritos with the additions for take out. While waiting, I noticed they had signs posted on the wall of family deals and one sign that says if you get two super burritos you can get a free Mexican soda. I inquired about this sign and the lady told me, "No more." I would suggest removing the sign if the promotion is not running anymore. And please update the menu with updated prices when we order so it's less confusing. I did read people felt like they got overcharged here and can clearly see why if the price is different on the menu from what's being rung up. And to ask customers if they want the extra $2 cheese, guacamole, and sour cream to your burrito as some may not care for it instead of just adding in the order without saying anything. As for the super burritos, I'm glad the taste is still good enough. I appreciate the chips and salsa that came with the order and will be more aware of the increase pricing when I order the next time.

I've been going to this spot for over a decade off and on and a couple of owners in between. This review is for today. Their carne super burrito is approved by the hubs ( which is a rarity for him). My kiddo was craving for some birria taco and the young lady who was working there took her time to make sure that we got out right order. She was super attentive , which made our time at La Huasteca and even better one.

A mom and pops taqueria in Newark. The prices are super affordable and beat a lot of other options nearby. They have the standard variety of Mexican food ranging from tacos to platters, all very tasty looking. We ordered and split a breakfast burrito, and it hit the spot. We didn't wait long for the food to arrive- probably 5 minutes max. This place has limited seating and street parking, but that was not a problem for us.

If you're a local and you haven't been to La Huasteca, then you were probably like me and have driven past this place countless times. This is a gem in Newark and offers fresh, delicious tacos and burritos with a variety of meat choices at reasonable prices for the portion size. Despite having a small kitchen, the staff are diligent and pump out orders in quick succession. There are plenty of seating available and there's a good view of the kitchen from the cash register. And it would seem that due to the limited capacity in the kitchen, the orders do take a bit longer to prepare. My suggestion is to order ahead online and give yourself some buffer time to wait for your meal to be prepared. You'll probably want some extra time to find parking as well; parking can be easily found on the street around the corner (it's easier than parking on the main road with so many cars zooming by). The staff was kind and let me know about the extended wait when I arrived. Their menu is quite simple and from time to time, they seem to offer special deals and promotions. Most recently, I took advantage of the summer specials they're running: 24 tacos and a soda for about 50 bucks and 4 burritos for less than 40 bucks. They also have happy hour specials that run from 3-5 pm everyday where you can get a meal for a fraction of the normal price. They also have burrito Mondays if you're a burrito fan. Great deals in comparison to other Mexican establishments! In addition to the prepared food, they also sell snacks, tortillas, sweet buns, beers, soda, popsicles, and pantry stables like beans and sauces. Alongside the deals, the food is what will keep you coming back. The burritos are huge, tacos are loaded, and they all taste delicious! Most of the items come with a bit of spice so be prepared if you're not accustomed to spicy food. With their meals, you'll be given some salsa and chips. The salsa gives an extra kick to your meal if you decide to smother it in. With so many meat options, there is bound to be something you enjoy. For me, it is lengua all the way! Lengua tacos and lengua burritos. Hearty and juicy morsels of meat packed with each bite! They also have asada, al pastor, cabeza, chorizo, barbacoa, chicken, shrimp, fish and chile verde. Overall, La Huasteca will fill you up with delicious food on a budget but you may just need to wait a bit for the magic to happen in the kitchen. In the heart of Newark, it feeds its community well as it's frequented by locals. Hopefully, this gem can start sharing its hefty meals with many more visitors from afar as well!

I can't believe I didn't know about this place sooner because this is now my go-to spot for when I want a burrito without having to drive too far. Prior to this, I would always go to Arteagas, but my issue with that place is that all of the other meats besides Carne Asada were sadly quite disappointing. Just a few minutes down Thornton was this tiny little spot doing some amazing things. Each of their meat options is carefully marinated to bring out the best flavors. Plus, they also offer mixed burritos where you can get Carnitas with Al Pastor. Yeah it's a bangin' combination! The tender and juicy Al Pastor mixed with the crispy Carnitas is just a flavor and texture bomb that is unrivaled. In addition, their spicy green salsa actually packs some heat so make sure to ask for some before they run out. I'm also a fan of how they cook the outside of the tortilla so it has that added crispy texture. I'm giving it a 4 because it's not exactly the most affordable option, however they definitely give you your moneys worth. The pricing is fair considering you can feel its heft as you pick it up and taste all of the great quality in every bite.

Don't blink or you'll miss this one. The first time we stopped it was by accident. The second time is because we wanted a California and breakfast burrito and this is one of the places open early. We knew the food was good and worth a few minutes drive. Plates, tamales are all good..Loved everything! They sell single tamales, breakfast burritos and all with the ingredients I love. The mixtures of meat options satisfy when you can't decide what you want.
